A warranty for your new home
Buying a home is one of the biggest purchase decisions you’ll ever make. Move with Barratt London and your new home will be covered by the NHBC warranty and insurance policy^.
Who are the NHBC?
The National House-Building Council, commonly referred to as NHBC, is the UK’s leading independent provider of new home warranty and insurance.
NHBC’s purpose is to raise standards in house building by championing high quality homes and protecting homeowners.
NHBC sets technical requirements for design, materials, and workmanship in the construction of new homes.
All our homes are covered by the NHBC warranty and insurance policy – this means we have complied with the NHBC standards. This is just one of the added benefits of buying a new home with us.
Choose new and you can move with confidence
The NHBC warranty and insurance policy, known as Buildmark, is designed to give you peace of mind. Buildmark provides the following cover:
- Insolvency cover: If we become insolvent and are therefore unable to finish the construction of your home, NHBC may repay your deposit or any reasonable extra amount you have to pay for your home to be finished.
- Builder warranty period: For the first two years we are responsible for rectifying any defects covered by the warranty. The warranty is backed by NHBC’s resolution service and guarantee.
- Insurance cover: In the eight years that follow the builder warranty period, NHBC provides insurance.
